I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Brianne, but most people call me Bri. I'm now Mrs. Johns, married to my best friend Jake. I'm a youth pastor. Crazy, huh? I'm a girl who loves to grow through challenge. Life is one big text book and I'm just beginning to learn about how I exist in it. I feel like my life's calling is to help people in their challenges. I'm not into popular culture like Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Simpsons, Seinfeld, and The Beatles - so I'm often the odd girl out when "fanatics" talk about these things. But... I do love the Spice Girls, Jessica Simpson, and Kelly Clarkson. Go figure, I'm a seriously dorky walking contradiction! :) I'm a SoCal girl. Lived in Orange County the first 25 years of my life, moved to Roseville (NorCal) Dec. 2003. Friends and family are everything to me. I love teenagers and live for the times they see who Jesus really is. I have THE BEST job. My favorite thing in the world is to take long walks with Jake. Second to that is writing. I LOVE to journal and put down all of my life's journey and experiences. I have the coolest black cat named "Spike", he also goes by "Taney". I own about every chick flick made. I'm a popcorn addict - no joke. I love the theater. I love music. I love taking photos of unforgettable moments. I just bought a fancy camera and can't wait to capture more of life's beauty. Anyway, that's me (kinda).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Old friends and kids in my youth group! This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Music:

Anything fun and upbeat. No emo please. Blah.

Movies:

Chick flicks (of course), anything that will make me laugh, and court case movies like A Few Good Men.

Television:

Desperate Housewives (when is it coming back?!?), LA Ink, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, and The Hills.

Books:

It always changes. I have like 100 half read books on my bookshelf - all with bookmarks! I think I have book A.D.D. I'm not sure when I last read a book all the way through.

Heroes:

BARBARA JOHNSON: 'Women of Faith' author who taught me about true JOY and the precious healing power found only in the arms of the Lord and in laughing at life's troubles. MY GRANDMA ROSE: a woman who says she wants to stand out and wear "red" at a funeral instead of black, the kindest and sassiest woman alive. She is my kindred spirit and soulmate. And JESUS (of course): The reason I live and can love.
